VClient is a free component that lets you connect with Valentina Server, including the VDN Valentina Server.
All of the Valentina ADKs can be freely downloaded from the Paradigma Software website. The download includes at least the Valentina Client (VCLIENT) component for communicating with Valentina Server, but may also include other components. In total, developers have over 30 ways to connect to Valentina Server.
As applicable, the download can also include local runtime components, which are parts of the Valentina Database ADK and Valentina Reports ADK products. Both Valentina Database ADK for Xojo and Valentina Reports ADK for Xojo are included in Omegabundle for Xojo 2025.
All VClients are FREE
The VCLIENT portion is licensed at no additional cost for use with the full Valentina ADK or, for use of integrating your app natively with Valentina Server. Here is a list of compatibility and platform support for each VCLIENT. REST is also included here as a common and popular way to integrate with Valentina server.
